"..chip companies are definitely in a whole different world when it comes to documentation, compared to the software world I'm now in!"

Makes sense though. SW is a much more agile/faster iterations artifact than HW. Documentation is very hard to keep pace in this env, so much so that people are actually trying to infer it automatically from the -ever changing- code.

Your wording shows the difference very well: ~"Documentation that we have to keep updating" vs. "datasheet" (a specification).
